Error with listen function in custom Sanity composable

Last updated: Jun 20, 2023
I try to run client.listen() but I get the error “listen is not a function”
Here is the code :


/*
composable for loading and previewing data from sanity 
*/
export default async function ({ query, params, livePreview = true }) {
	const mainStore = useMainStore()
	const sanityClient = mainStore.previewIsActive
		? {
				client: 'preview',
				server: false,
				initialCache: false,
		  }
		: undefined

	// live preview: listen to changes
	onMounted(() => {
		if (mainStore.previewIsActive && livePreview) {
			const sanity = useSanity('preview')
			console.log('rr')
			
			sanity.client.listen(query, params).subscribe((event) => {
				setTimeout(() => {
					refresh()
				}, 900)
			})
		}
	})

	// get data
	const { data, refresh } = await useLazySanityQuery(
		query,
		params,
		sanityClient
	)

	return data
}
Do you know why he tells me that
listen
is not a function?
Thank you

I don’t have an answer, but am providing the source for context since most of these are custom hooks.
Have you pinned the client to the same version as the lock file of the template?
